CRYSTAL FALLS -- The Michigan Department of Transportation plans to invest about $2.9 million to repair three bridges in Iron and Ontonagon counties, with work expected to start on May 15.
Work includes a deep overlay; epoxy overlay; joint replacement; deck, railing, and substructure patching; curb and gutter repairs; guardrail; and approach work on U.S. 45 over the east branch of the Ontonagon River, M-64 over the Mineral River and M-69 over the Paint River.
This project, which is expected to be completed in October, includes a five-year performance warranty for the epoxy bridge deck overlay.
MDOT said that based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 35 jobs. The work will extend the lifespan of the bridges and result in a smoother driving surface and increased safety for motorists.
